Punjab and Haryana High Court makes a ‘SIM card’ request to telecom ministry

Punjab and Haryana High Court has asked the central government to limit the number of prepaid SIM cards to one per person. Issuing an interim order in the Sumit Nandwani V/S State of Haryana, the high court said that if the Ministry of Telecommunication implements such a restriction, it could effectively curb cybercrime incidents, consequently reducing financial fraud and the exploitation of individuals and their assets, and India’s image.
